Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF)
The CCF was founded in 1990 and is situated near Otjiwarongo, the Cheetah capital of
the world. CCF is a world-class research and education centre that maintains a specialised
veterinary clinic, visitor centre, museum, and model farm that sets the agenda for cheetah
management and conservation throughout the world. CCF works actively to develop
integrated programmes that enable the cheetahs to live in harmony with the people of the
land. Since 90% of Namibias cheetahs live on livestock farms, CCFs Namibian focus is
to work with farming communities to reduce conflict, to establish management, and to
ensure the future of the cheetahs.
